Zeshaun sat in a bar drinking with his good friend Jago. They were the only trandoshans that they knew in the corp. That particular night they were celebrating the begginning of their 1 week leave.

"Cheers mate." Zeshaun raised his glass. Jago raised his. "Where are you off to for the next week?" Zeshaun asked.

"I'm not sure I haven't been back to Dosha in a while so I was thinking I could go back but i don't know if it's worth the trouble." Jago took a long sqig of his whiskey.

"You haven't been back in a while? We need to go. I will provide you with a free two way trip!" Zeshaun started getting excited. "We can even go wookie hunting while we're there."

Jago wasn't sure what Zeshaun meant by a free two way trip but he liked the sound of it. "Sure why not."

"Alright meet me at the starport tomorrow morning at 0900" Zeshaun took one last drink and left

They both returned to their rooms that night eager to get started.

_______________________________________________________________

Zeshaun was chatting with his good old friend Gress. "I'm glad you're coming back to Dosha for a bit. We all miss you." Gress gave Zeshaun a nice punch in the ribs.

"Oh there he is now," Zeshaun pointed to Jago who was trotting over to them. "He'll be coming with us, hope you can give us some entertainment."

Gress grinned, "I'll put you two guys in the same group that you were in before you left."

Zeshaun gave Gress a pat on the shoulder. "Start up the engines we'll be leaving soon."

Jago came over. "Hello, I thought me and Zeshaun were the only trandoshans here."

Gress said "I'm Zeshaun's old friend from when he was a mercenary. Nice to meet ya."

Jago threw a salute. Gress ran into the shuttle and started the engines. Zeshaun waved a hand toward the shuttle. Jago walked up the ramp and into the ship.

Zeshaun followed, I hope I'm not getting us into some kind of mess, but I gotta say I've got a bad feeling about this.

The short shuttle ride up to the star destroyer was uneventful and relaxing. Zeshaun hadn't been up in space in a while.

Jago said. "So tell me about your days as a mercenary."

On the shuttle ride up Zeshaun told Jago all about his days as a mercenary. This all seemed very new to Jago since he had left Dosha at an early age.

"My parents were both mercenaries in a group named Akodo. Gress here was my best friend at the time and we saved each other to many times to count." Zeshaun said

"More like I saved you to many times to count." Gress chimed in.

Zeshaun rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I joined when I was 10 years old and learned my way pretty quickly. I was soon racking up hundred of points with the scorekeeper. By age 12 I was leading my own squad. We would go out nearly every week to go and hunt wookies unless we were on duty. Akodo normally worked for the empire and we were rewarded when we helped he Empire win at the Battle of Kashyyk. They gave us a victory class star destroyer for our dedicated services."

"You were at the battle of Kashyyk!" Jago exclaimed.

"Yeah and we held our own." Gress pitched in.

Zeshaun nodded. "I personaly was on the ground with my squad, we fought side by side with stormtroopers and I didn't lose a single man and I was only 15" Zeshaun said proudly.  After that we headed back to Kashyyk for a little party. We wanted to raid a large town and show off our new weapon. We bombarded the town and then went down to go on a hunt. My squad was teamed up with my mother and father's squad but when we got down the village was empty. We searched for long hours but found no one. We reluctantly returned to our shuttles but we were suddenly jumped."

Zeshaun talked in a very angry voice. "My mother and father were both captured and taken away. We searched for weeks after that trying to find the wookies but never did. I decided to venture off to clear my head."

"We lent him a shuttle, which he hasn't payed for yet, and we let him go." Gress said.

"I told you it wasn't my fault that the shuttle was turned into scrap metal." Zeshaun said. "I was captured by a rebel mon cal cruiser because they recognized the symbol for the Akodo mercenary group on the shuttle. I was captured and I sat in a cell until one day storm troopers over took the cruiser and I was rescued. That's when I decided to join the army."

Zeshaun sighed, so much had happened he nearly forgot about it. He was truly going to enjoy the hunt that would soon be upon them.

"Gress and my other squad mates can tell you some other stories about me." Zeshaun said waving his hand toward the star destroyer now in sight.

Gress turned around and winked at Jago, "I've got some pretty funny stories to tell." with that he turned toward the destroyer and pointed.

"Gentlement, welcome to the Akodo's Fire"

They stepped out of the shuttle and into the hangar bay of the star destroyer. It was a marvelous sight. Gress had put in some more installations since the last time that Zeshaun had been on the ship.

"We got recruited some pilots off of Dosha and now we have two full squadrons plus a platoon of soldiers, still 100 percent trandoshan." Gress said as they walked toward the doors.

Zeshaun got nods of aknowledgment from some of the crew working on th TIE fighters and some smiles.

They walked down a hallway passing the messhall and some control rooms, sleeping quarters, etc. They stopped infront of two doors right next to each other.

"These are your quarters please call us if you would need anything else. The trip will not be to long unless we run into some trouble." Gress pointed back down the hall. "Your squad that you will be hunting with is right down this hall, third door on your left."
Gress left to prepare for hyperspace.

"Let's get settled then we will meet with the squad." Zeshaun said

Jago nodded and they went into their seperate rooms. Zeshaun threw his bag down and looked around. It was pretty nice. Personal bathroom, large bed, and even their own holoplayer.

Zeshaun went back out into the hallway and he saw Jago waiting.

"Shall we?" Jago asked.

Zeshaun nodded and they both started their way down toward the squad room.

As Zeshaun walked the halls of Akodo's Fire a sudden alarm went off. Jago walked up to him in the halls.

'What happened?' He asked worriedly.

"Somehow the Wookiees and Republic prisoners got out. They also got ahold of the driods we had on the ship. Come on lets go show them why they needed those cells!" Zeshaun yelled

"lets suit up." Jago said

Zeshaun and Jago went back to their rooms and put on there armor. Zeshaun and Jago looked strange in there different armor next to the armorless trando crew.

"We'll split up by group and fight the wookies and republic prisoners as we see fit. Keep your gun on stun, but change it to lethal when needed." Gress said to the crew. "Let's move!"

5 groups spread out into different directions looking for the prisoners. Zeshaun and Jago were with 5 other trandos in various outfits all equipped with some kind of blaster rifle.

"First things first, did either of you guys learn to use a heavy weapon in that academy of yours?" A trando opens up a door to a large weapon cache.

"I did." Jago said, raising his hand.

"Then this is for you..." The trando revealed a large gun.

OOC:

Jago you can put what ever gun there.

Zeshaun marveled at the amount of weapons that Gress had managed to scrounge up in the past years. Zeshaun saw an ACP array gun sitting up against a wall near the back. Zeshaun looked down at his E-11 rifle and saw that it was nothing compared to the array gun. He ran in and grabbed it.

"Well everything looks good. Lets go make those Wookiees wish they had stayed in their cages." Jago said.

Zeshaun and Jago's crew were confronted by several wookies weilding ACP reapeater guns.

"take cover!" one of the Trandos yelled as the Wookiees opened fire upon them.

Everyone dove into open rooms and hid behind barrles

"Ok me and 3 other Trandoshans will provide covering fire while the rest of you try to find a way to flank them." Jago said pointing back away from the wookies.

Zeshaun nodded and pointed for the two other trandos to follow him. They ran down the hallway. Zeshaun could hear the growls of wookies and the screams of humans as blaster fire rang out. Zeshaun pressed a button that opened up a door to the main hangar of the ship.

Many wookies and trandos were fighting within the hangar. The trandos needed to keep the wookies and rebels from leaving the ship. Unfortunately Zeshaun had no time to help out. He didn't know how long Jago and the others could hold out .

They ran through another door where they ran into Gress.  They quickly saluted and ran by. When Zeshaun stepped out into the corridor a wave of blaster bolts flew by him. He stuck his array gun out and fired. He was surprised by the amount of kickback it had.

The shot seemed to hold off the enemy for a second, which was enough for the three trandos to cross the corridor. They ran through many more doors and rooms when they met Gress again, but this time leading a pack of 5 trandos.

"Hey Zesh, we could use some help here." Gress caleld out.

Zeshaun looked and Gress' group was putting a good fight against a strongly barracaded group of wookies and rebels. Gress was slowly being driven back.

Zeshaun popped out and snapped off a couple of shots from his array gun. The barracaded group seemed surprised to see s tromtrooper on board and they didn't react immediately. This gave the group a chance to move up again. They overtook the barracaded wookies.

"Which way are you heading?" Gress asked.

"I'm going to try to flank the wookies my other mates are holding off, care to help?" Zeshaun said.

"Sure no problem, this way!" Gress starts running down the hall.

Zeshaun burst through a door and sees the wookies still fighting Jago.

"Take this!" Zeshaun yells

He sprays all the wookies with so many blaster bolts that their whole backs are smoldering before they fell to the ground.

"Jago how you holding up?" Zeshaun asks with a smile.

Jago just gives him a silly grin. "I had the fight totally under control."
